Maxi dresses - too hot to wear?

Ladies,

We'll be taking our first trip to CSA December 12 - 19th. I'm so excited! I was planning on bringing some sleeveless polyester maxi dresses for evening wear, but I've seen some people mention that man-made materials could be too hot and uncomfortable. What's your experience? Thanks in advance for the advice. I appreciate it.

Not a problem in December. In fact, in Feathers you will be glad to have something over your legs and would probably enjoy a shawl or light sweater due to air conditioning. I have never had a problem with a long skirt or dress in the month of December. Enjoy!

I had one long polyester-type maxi dress when I was at CN in October.... During the day- yes, it will be too hot, but most nights I was perfectly fine. As long as it isn't a terribly humid day you will be fine wearing it in the evening. I would bring some other types of fabrics as well. Have Fun!!!!

First of all - congrats on booking CSA!!! We went there for our honeymoon in September and had the time of our lives!! I wore a maxi almost every single evening. They are so easy to throw on yet look super elegant. Also, I found that I sweat WAY less in poly that week, for some reason. I had a black cotton one and it was less comfortable than the poly or blends that I brought....I think the man made materials are thinner, depending on the manufacturer.

Maxi dresses are perfect for dinner time. Last year, I packed capris with shirts, dresses, shorts, tshirts... Wayyyyy to much!!! This year, keeping it simple with lots of swimsuits/cover ups and sleeveless/maxi dresses for night and a few workout outfits to take advantage of the awsome sports complex at CSA. That should cut the packing by half...I hope

I am always interested in wearing of long dresses and had a good collection of these. I want to buy some new long dresses and looking for these ideas and designs of long dresses.Well members in these above posts share some good points about these dresses and i am really impressed by these things indeed.

I wear dresses the entire time we are at CSA twice a year. Short and casual over swimsuit or to breakfast and lunch. Sort or maxi to dinner. Definitely no polyester as it doesn't breathe! December won't be as bad, though. DO carry a light sweater, wrap or jacket to dinner at Feathers as the ac is pretty cold!

I live in maxi dresses at night on these types of vacations! I always bring a multi purpose shawl/scarf/coverup thing too. I also found this scarf comes in handy to wear on the plane, and use as a blanket!
